The last three kingdoms

Chapter 831
Chang Hai was suddenly dumbfounded.He also knows that the Shu army's firearms are powerful. The last time the Hanshan Fortress fell, it was basically defeated by firearms. The collapse of the army.

Afterwards, the Huns also carried out targeted research on the firearms of the Shu army, believing that although the firearms are powerful, they can be used at a relatively short distance. As long as the Shu army is not allowed to get close, their firearms are useless. The throwing distance of the grenade is only a few tens of steps away, which is far less than that of a bow and arrow with hundreds of steps.

Therefore, after Chang Hai served as the defender of the Hanshan Fortress, he took great pains to guard against the firearm attacks of the Shu army. First, he set up patrols on the high grounds of the mountains on both sides to prevent the possibility of the Shu army occupying the mountains on both sides. Arrange strong crossbowmen to forcefully kill the Shu soldiers who rushed to the Hanshan Fortress dozens of steps away, without giving them a chance to approach the fortress.

But Chang Hai never expected that the Shu army would use catapults to launch firearms. Since the firearms are lighter, the range far exceeds that of stone bullets. Even the strongest bows and arrows of the Huns could not shoot so far. They watched those stone mines fall from the sky and explode above their heads.

The lethal power of the firearms is astonishing, especially when the Shu army used stone mines with gunpowder five or six times larger than the bamboo tube grenade. The violent explosion sound was deafening. The sight of stumped limbs, broken arms and bloody corpses all over the ground is shocking.

In the face of powerful firearms, the Huns' so-called impenetrable defense became as fragile as hemp paper. A single stone mine or cluster grenade could cause massive casualties to the Huns, and dozens of stone mines fell on the fort at the same time. Internally, the blow was almost devastating.

It not only destroyed the fortifications of the Huns, but also destroyed the defense confidence of the Huns. Even Chang Hai was already heartbroken in the face of such a blow, let alone ordinary Huns soldiers.

The Shu army attacked like a tide. Although the severely injured Huns were still resisting tenaciously, such resistance had become meaningless. The defense line of Hanshan Fortress was easily torn by the Shu army. Simultaneously attacked the fortress from the east and west, and launched the final hand-to-hand combat.

On the one hand, the defensive will of the Huns has been completely destroyed, and on the other hand, the Shu army occupies an absolute superiority. Such hand-to-hand combat can only present a one-sided situation. Under the circumstances, he is also powerless.

Breaking through the siege was meaningless. Even if he escaped by chance, he would end up beheaded by Liu Yuan just like the former guard Luta. Instead of dying like that, it would be better to die vigorously in the Cold Mountain Fortress.

Chang Hai rejected the suggestion of his subordinates asking him to break out of the siege, and he rushed to the gathering place of the Shu army with a single sword in his hand, hacking and killing wantonly.Chang Hai was extremely fierce and killed many Shu soldiers in a row, but no matter how fierce he was alone, it was useless. In the end, Chang Hai was pierced by more than a dozen spears and died in the cold mountain fortress.

The outnumbered Huns are all quite bloody. They would rather die in battle than surrender. Most of the Huns chose the same fate as their generals. They fought to the death and shed their last drop of blood. .

However, the tenacity of the Huns could no longer change the fate of the Hanshan Fortress. After more than an hour of fierce fighting, when the last Hun soldier fell in a pool of blood, the "Han" was flying high above the Hanshan Fortress. The word banner.

All the generals and soldiers of the Shu Army were cheering. The long-lost victory made them excited, laughing and cheering. What made them most happy was that the Central Army of the Shu Army finally joined forces. During more than 700 days and nights, they worked extremely hard The land is fighting on its own, dealing with the powerful Huns, fighting bravely, and accumulating small victories into big victories. Today is finally the day when the three armies join forces, and it is also the day when the Shu army is proud.

The victory in the Battle of Hanshan Fortress will also become a new turning point. From then on, the Shu army will completely shift from strategic defense to strategic offensive, and the entire war against Hu will also enter a new stage.

What Huang Chong admired was the five-body throwing, and he even picked his thumb: "The general has many ways, and he can think of using a catapult to throw firearms, which can solve the problem of insufficient range of firearms at once. , that is useless, and taking Hanshan Pass is like picking something out of a bag."

Liu Yin said with a smile on his face: "If we attack Hanshan Pass by force, our army will suffer heavy casualties. If we have firearms, we will get twice the result with half the effort."

Possessing weapons beyond the entire era, Liu Yin still has full confidence in this kind of tough battle. Thinking of the late Qing Dynasty, foreign invaders could conquer the entire country by setting up a few cannons on the coastline. The overwhelming advantage that has come from China is quite terrifying. Technology is the primary productive force, and that is definitely not empty talk.

Liu Yin had already realized this when he invented gunpowder. Therefore, he kept absolute secrecy in the development and production of gunpowder. advantage will no longer exist.

It was by virtue of gunpowder, an astonishingly powerful weapon, that Liu Yin was able to win key battles again and again. Let alone the two battles in the Hanshan Fortress, it was all because the Shu army held firearms. It is possible to win the Hanshan pass, which is known as the first fortress of Shangdang, in the shortest time and at the lowest cost of casualties. If there is no gunpowder, it is very likely that it is still trapped in the narrow area of ​​​​Guyuan, surrounded by the Huns Therefore, without gunpowder, it would be almost impossible for the Shu army to join forces and completely change the situation in Shangdang.

Now after the successful meeting of the three armies, the three bases are connected to each other. On the contrary, Huguan, the city of Shangdang County controlled by the Huns, is surrounded by the Shu army on three sides.

The county town of Shangdang is a good place. It is a footbath surrounded by mountains. There are fish and meat. Liu Yin has been greedy for a long time. It's just that when he first arrived, he was not strong enough, so he could only fight guerrillas in poor mountain valleys. , The whole day is bitter, haha, the situation is very good now, Liu Yin naturally invests his current investment in Huguan, the county city of Shangdang, and only by taking Huguan City, can he truly control the entire Shangdang.
